Abstract/Contents:	Discusses how to develop a fertilizer program for fine turfgrasses. States that "the problem is that too much fertiliser [fertilizer] forces you to reply on intensive verticutting and aggressive mowing to prepare firm, fast and true playing surfaces." Suggests that the primary goal of green keeping is to "create playing surfaces of the highest possibly quality...[and] to minimise [minimize] fertiliser [fertilizer] inputs to reduce the need for incessant aggressive treatments." Details use of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium. Describes how to "prepare surfaces without incessant verticutting or employing ever-lower heights of cut." Concludes that "less is more" and that "aggressive greenkeeping is the death of the finer grasses."
